Advice for incoming students:

Learn how to use your time wisely – set aside plenty of time to study but make sure you leave time for relaxing and investing in hobbies outside of school. No one can focus solely on school all the time for 6-7 years. Become a well-rounded person so you can be a well-rounded pharmacist.
